Ready for Anything....I hope



Well, here's our latest little addition to our Alaskan Trek. We researched little generators, and the one that seems to be the best, hands down, is the little Honda. This is fairly light weight (47#), and very quiet (59 db). It will enable us to use lights, etc. inside the camper. But also, it has an inverter, that makes it very safe for use with high tech electronics, like our computer.
In addition, this little red baby has an extra cable that we purchased ($12) that will charge the truck battery if needed (but we plan on getting a new battery before we leave)....but ya never know. We aim to be ready.
Our "ready for anything" attitude has prompted us to have two spare tires, since the Dalton Hwy to Prudeau Bay is 440 miles of gravel road. And of course, what travels up that road, must return....on 440 miles of gravel road. We've been told that road service is pricey up there. And, we shouldn't need it. Will show you that one when it gets mounted on the grill guard in front of the truck.
